Confederacy of Asses- or the Cult of the Communicative Bums- or Ode to Pitless Bottoms

From Baburname:
"On reaching Khwaja Sih-yaran there was a wine-party. Today orders were written and despatched by Kich-kina, the night watch, to the Begs North of the Hindu Kush. Giving them a rendezvous and saying 'An army is being got to horse, take thought, and come to the rendezvous fixed"

When all else fails, blame the Germans

The Coalition Forces (or is that the name they assume in Iraq?) have massacred 70 Afghans in Kunduz. The BBC has been running the news with pictures of American military personnel visiting the wounded in the hospital, all the while re-iterating that it was the Germans who gave the order to 'exterminate'. Oh what a lovely war!
